One doesn’t often hear senior officials from the European Union, with its centralized governance of 27 member countries, talk about sovereignty. But that was very much at the heart of the agenda during Roberto Viola’s visit to Washington last week.
Viola, the European Commission’s longtime chief tech regulator, met with U.S. officials to try to manage a persistently tense relationship between Europe and the United States under U.S. President Donald Trump. As part of this effort, Viola signed the EU on to the Trump administration’s Pax Silica initiative, which is aimed at securing technological supply chains.
